help Profoto B10 Plus User Guide FAQ

What is the flash power output of the Profoto B10 Plus?

The Profoto B10 Plus delivers 500 watt-seconds (Ws) of flash energy, double the 250 Ws output of the standard Profoto B10. This places it between the B10 and the larger B1X (500 Ws) in Profoto's battery-powered monolight lineup. The 500 Ws output is sufficient for overpowering sunlight with a medium-sized modifier at moderate distances.

Does the Profoto B10 Plus have a continuous LED modeling light?

Yes, the B10 Plus includes a built-in LED modeling light that can output up to 3,250 lumens in continuous mode, bright enough for use as a video light or for previewing flash shadows. The modeling light is color-temperature adjustable from approximately 3,000K to 6,500K. This dual-light design makes the B10 Plus suitable for hybrid photo-video workflows.

Does the Profoto B10 Plus support high-speed sync (HSS)?

Yes, the B10 Plus supports HSS (High-Speed Sync) flash up to 1/8,000 second when paired with a Profoto AirTTL remote, allowing photographers to shoot at wide apertures in bright sunlight. It also supports TTL (Through-The-Lens) metering for automatic flash exposure with Canon, Nikon, Sony, and Fujifilm camera systems via the appropriate AirTTL remote. Manual flash control is available through the on-unit dial or the Profoto smartphone app.

How does the Profoto B10 Plus mount to light stands and modifiers?

The B10 Plus uses Profoto's proprietary spring-loaded mount for attaching light-shaping tools such as the OCF series of softboxes and umbrellas. It comes with a combined stand mount and umbrella holder that fits standard 5/8-inch light stands. Profoto also offers dedicated B10 mounting brackets and clamp accessories for off-camera positioning without a traditional light stand.
